Bottled 330ml. -from Pivoteka Zagreb. Unclear brownish coloured, small pale beige head, dried fruits, light wood and alcohol in the nose. Sweet malty, caramel, dried fruits, wood and alcohol with sticky sweet finish. Not for my taste.

330 ml bottle. Pours a dark mahogany with light head. Aromas of rich caramel, candi sugar, cognac, and sweet malts; possibly some port. Rich caramel malty flavors continue with more port and sherry than cognac, but really nicely balanced. A pleasure to drink.

Bottle shared thanks to sjogro! Clear deep reddish brown with creamy beige head. Looks quite inviting. Sweet malts, sherry, alcohol, soft smoke, old wood, soft cognac, cow dung, apple sauce, toffee, grassy, lots of caramel, light glue, red wine, soft berries, port, soft yoghurt. Quite some barrel, but also a lot of barley wine here. Don’t get much green apple or acetone here like others did. Quite sweet, alcoholic bitter and a hint of tart fruits. Full bodied with low carbonation. Quite boozy but interesting stuff. Enjoyable, but this needs to be shared.
